The hospital also implemented measures to improve readiness to respond to obstetric hemorrhage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis project involved a multidisciplinary approach with monthly webinars and in-person meetings in Albany. Together, we worked on updating our policies, acquired a hemorrhage cart, and updated our hemorrhage kit.\u00a0 We also performed simulation drills and devised a hemorrhage assessment for patients antepartum, upon admission to Labor and Delivery, and postpartum. Our team has been educated and trained on all changes to ensure the delivery of quality care,\u201d explained Maria Smilios, Director of Nursing Maternal and Child Services at Flushing Hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Flushing Hospital was commended for its dedication and \u201cexemplary work\u201d by the New York State Perinatal Quality Collaborative. The hospital will continue to focus on improving maternal morbidity and maternal rates in its community to ensure a healthier future for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ShareFlushing Hospital Medical Center is the proud recipient of the New York State Obstetric Hemorrhage Project 2021 Quality Improvement Award.
